I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'grilled fowl' is the definition.

(Other definitions for spatchcock that I've seen before include "preparation of The Birds?" , "Game bird split down the back and grilled" , "Chicken or game bird split open and grilled" , "cooked fowl" , "Inappropriately insert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
